...More Things Today

One of the most exciting questions, the most radical and yet most obvious, is to ask yourself, What would I do if could start over? 

Sometimes we get trapped in the structure of what we live in.   Teaching and curricula are good examples.  Both have structures that seem impenetrable.  They dictate what is not possible.  You can spend months, even years, banging your head against their walls, trying to stretch them, trying to squeeze in fresh ideas.  

There is nothing so liberating as the rush of ideas that flows when the structure caves in, or collapses, when the cognitive synapses fire like a lightning storm.  

When you start over...   all things are possible.

What if you decided to rethink a college?  a curriculum?  a course?  a discipline?
